Wearable Systems for Cardiorespiratory Monitoring: From Design to Data Analysis
There is an ever-growing demand for wearable systems able to estimate cardiorespiratory parameters in many scenarios ranging from clinical settings, to harsh environments and sports science. This information is important for health monitoring, clinical diagnoses, and treatment, but collecting it noninvasively while achieving both comfort and high metrological performance remains a challenge.
However, the sensitiveness of cardiac and respiratory parameters to different pathological conditions (e.g., adverse cardiac events, pneumonia, and clinical deterioration) and stressors, is pushing new advances in flexible systems to unleash a higher-performing and more comfortable generation of wearable devices.
